<H3><A NAME="M2">NAME</A></H3>
bell &mdash; Ring a display's bell
<H3><A NAME="M3">SYNOPSIS</A></H3>
<B>bell </B>?<B>-displayof </B><I>window</I>? ?<B>-nice</B>?<BR>
<H3><A NAME="M4">DESCRIPTION</A></H3>
This command rings the bell on the display for <I>window</I> and
returns an empty string.
If the <B>-displayof</B> option is omitted, the display of the
application's main window is used by default.
The command uses the current bell-related settings for the display, which
may be modified with programs such as <B>xset</B>.
<P>
If <B>-nice</B> is not specified, this command also resets the screen saver
for the screen.  Some screen savers will ignore this, but others will reset
so that the screen becomes visible again.
